Hi All,

What are your opinions on Moira? It used to be quite popular here in Ireland years ago but not so much in recent years-pronounced Moy-ra. Thnaks

No its not even on our list but we were watching a film tonight & Moira came up in the credits, hubby & I both looked at each other & said not bad a name neither of us had heard in years. Just thought I'd get a few opinions to see what op think to see if it makes the cut for "the list"!!

'Fraid it conjures up bad images of someone who sweats a lot and has very pasty skin!

(I think this - rather specific description! - is based on it being a character in a book?! Can't remember......)

That being said, you should use the name you like and ignore us!

I know a 90 year old Moira - I think it might be one of those 'granny chic' names that might take a while to come back into fashion! Having said that, there's nothing wrong with it and, just because it's not to my taste, it doesn't mean you shouldn't use it :)

There is a reason it's not so popular nowadays in Ireland it's awful!

Really like it. Girl at DD's school called Moira (she's 9). Strong, unusual name and she's clever!

Makes me think of Moira Stewart. It's one of those names that I can't imagine a
Baby/Child/Teenager having. It's a name for a woman 45-70 years old IMO.
